About this study

Official title: Does an Acquired Von Willebrand Syndrome Influence Perioperative Blood Loss in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement?

Patients with severe aortic stenosis often suffer from an acquired Von Willebrand syndrome by degeneration of the polymers during passage through the narrow valve leading to turbulences. We hypothesized that the diagnosis of acquired von Willebrand syndrome influence perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing open cardiac valve replacement.

Read the detailed description

Patients with severe aortic stenosis often suffer from an acquired Von Willebrand syndrome by degeneration of the polymers during passage through the narrow valve leading to turbulences. After written consent and an extended anamnesis of existing coagulopathy, we take three blood samples in these patients: before surgery, on the day after surgery and 4 weeks after surgery. We determine von Willebrand factor in lab and by a point-of-care platelet function analyzer (Multiplate TM). We measure amount of mediastinal drainage after 24 hours and blood product consumption in these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bleeding and Von Willebrand Disease, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Amount of mediastinal drainage in the first 24 hours (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2011.
